OpenPDF is a Java library for creating and editing PDF files with a LGPL and MPL open source license. OpenPDF is the LGPL/MPL open source successor of iText, and is based on a fork, of a fork, of iText 4 svn tag. We welcome contributions from other developers. Please feel free to submit pull-requests and bugreports to this GitHub repository.

Basically they forked the last know good itext version before it went commercial and have been bugfixing and optimizing since. The license is friendly and I feel better using an up to date library vs a 10 year old iText 2.1.7
